“Why should I have a drink?” Tom could tell that Rachel was trying to protect David, and he did notwant to give in to Rachel. Nevertheless, he took the glass of water from her “Sooner or later, you’ll bethe death of me.”

Rachel’s almond-shaped eyes flickered with a sly smile. “It’s not good for health to get angry. I’ll peel anorange for you. Don’t be angry.”

Seeing how quick-witted Rachel was, Tom could not help but think of Sophia. For reasons unknown,his heart started to soften.

He sighed. It was difficult for him to stay angry with Rachel for long.

However, there was still one thing on his mind.

He turned and looked sharply at David. “Mr. Jones, I know you think that you have nothing since youhave the token from years ago. What if I disapprove of your relationship?”

“Uncle…” Rachel’s eyes flashed.

Before she could finish, Tom raised his hand to stop her from saying further. He raised his chin slightlyat David, indicating for him to speak.

David was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. He leaned lazily against the back of the chair andplaced his hands on his knees. He carried an unwavering gaze that could easily intimidate others,conveying a sense of power and control.

Hearing this, David looked up at Tom impassively.

His cold, piercing look felt like staring into the depths of a well, with a frigid chill that sent shivers downone’s spine. It looked unfathomable and dangerous.

“What’s the reason for your disapproval?”

David suddenly spoke. There was no emotion in his calm tone, but it inexplicably made one stand inattention.

Tom narrowed his eyes and stared at David intently. A hint of imperceptible fear appeared in the depthsof his eyes.

Even with his status and influence, Tom still felt a trace of fear and reverence when he came face-to-face with David.

It was not cowardice but instinctive reverence when facing someone more strong-willed than him.

After pondering for a long time, Tom said, “With the Johnson family’s current status, even if Rae-Raedoesn’t marry you, she won’t starve. She’ll be well-provided for the rest of her life.”

In other words, Tom meant that the marriage arrangement with the influential

Jones family from Aureliana was not necessarily the best choice for the Johnson family.

“Uncle…” Rachel felt a little uneasy. She was afraid that Tom would demand that they break off theengagement.

Tom noticed the worried look on Rachel’s face. He looked at her intently and said, “Rae-Rae, go to thegarden to look for your grandfather.”

Rachel frowned slightly. Of course, she knew that Tom was sending her away deliberately.

She instinctively looked at David.

David gave her a look of reassurance. “Go on.”

Rachel pursed her lips and finally stood up to leave.

There was total silence in the hospital ward.

Tom picked up the glass of water and took a sip. A trace of mockery flashed across his eyes. “As far asI know, you’re here to break off the engagement.”

His sharp black eyes swept across David’s face. His deep voice sounded icy as the room seemed to becovered with a layer of frost. “With your status and position in society, you can have any woman youwant in Aureliana. Why do you have to hold on to Rae-Rac?”

Since Rachel refused to break off the engagement, Tom decided to make David do

SO.

David’s narrowed eyes flashed with a tinge of darkness. His thin lips curled up slightly into a faint smile.“Indeed, there are thousands of women in this world, but Rachel is unique. She cannot be replaced.Nor can anyone imitate her. There is only one Rachel in the world.”

No words could describe his feelings for her.

He had once regarded feelings as an unnecessary existence in this world and thought that he wouldnever be moved by love. However, he realized he was wrong.

Both of them were so consumed with love.
